And do you <i>really</i> want that? So, has the Beeb blamed it on global warming yet? Well, you guys would have to start paying an earthquake licence fee if you wanted earthquake coverage.

Hi Dave -
It was interesting to see your take on the BBC 24 coverage lagging behind Sky, and to see the great response to your video, but it was spoiled for me at least by the shouting of “stupid bitch” or is it “stupid bint”? at the TV news reader.

We just had a look at your earthquake post during a lecture of ours, which has no doubt been the highlight of my day so far. I was pretty much going through the same thing. After fighting the fear of leaving my bed (which I was convinced for a few minutes was going to collapse through my floor), I joined my flatmates in the ongoing argument with the TV (well, BBC) on when it was going to stop playing with us and start showing some up-to-date news. I guess we can be thankful for Sky News, or facebook for that matter as even it updated faster than BBC. At least they finally got on the ball. Your video just represents what I think the majority were all thinking. I guess this is how you know you’ve made it as a journalistic blogger… when your posts are used in University lectures.
